Unfortunately for us, on our last day in Hilo when we went to try it Wilson's was inexplicably closed....whhhaaattt????!!!! With my sweet tooth still craving something tasty and my bf needing to mend his shocked heart over Wilson's, I suggested we get some Halo Halo. Instantly his eyes brightened and we jumped in the car to head to Marcy's Variety Store. Off of Makaala Street in an inconspicuous block, we pulled up to Marcy's Variety Store. Note to the wise, it's next door to a small Filipino bakery that also serves Halo Halo but they can't beat Marcy's. We ordered two, and the gal handed us over two gi-normous cups of Halo Halo. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ojNY69j2gfwMI0er0YHpdA?select=bNnQqEpE-Y8WtQ6iTjWUMQ All kinds of tropical fruits and jellies dancing around the cup swirled with evaporated milk---all of this goodness is topped off with crushed ice and a heaping scoop of ube/vanilla ice cream. YUM!!!!!!!! And although my poor honey didn't get his Wilson's, he looked pretty happy enjoying his Halo Halo. (And my sweet tooth thanked me for it too!)

Before our wedding, Mark and his wife took an opportunity to make it a point to get to know us. In that meeting we learned not only about the experience and skills they possessed, but the authenticity of their hearts to truly serve us. On the day of, they were warriors championing through the Hilo rain (surprise, surprise it rained in a hilo wedding), cooking, moving things around, and presenting everything to perfection. Before we could even thank them for their service, they had already left, ensuring the attention stayed on us on our wedding day. I would recommend their catering service to anyone and just incase you were wondering, yes their food was KILLAHZ.

The bbq skewers, bistek, pancit, macaroni salad + poke station and more was all soooo good. They were still good the next day after being slightly hungover. Mahalo to Mark and his team! I recommend their catering to anyone.

I ordered the beef sinigang and it was pure comfort, cozy, sour in the best way, and honestly a taste of home after days of trying new dishes (especially lots of fish-based meals). The sweetest surprise was seeing yema. I've been craving it for years and hadn't come across it in so long. They had a small pack of those little cellophane-wrapped treats, and it instantly transported me back to childhood. My parents were with us on the trip and they ended up going back to Emma's multiple times in the same week, which says everything. It's mostly takeout, with a few shared tables next to neighboring storefronts, but it's also easy to grab and go. Highly recommend!

I planned for my husband and I to grab a quick bite at Cafe 100 before leaving Hilo. With more than…read more2000 reviews on Google and 30 varieties of loco moco, it was hard to ignore. Cafe 100 is a casual, local spot with window (staff) or kiosk (automated) ordering and plenty of semi-outdoor seating (i.e., you are technically inside and covered, but you can still feel the heat from outside). I will admit the menu felt a bit overwhelming at first glance because there are so many options available, but we visited on a weekday when it was not busy, so we were able to take our time deciding. Anticipating larger portions, we decided to share a mixed type loco moco plate along with a drink. That turned out to be a great call, as the portion was more than enough for the two of us, especially since we would not easily be able to take leftovers with us. This is casual, familiar comfort food done well. No complaints here, and I have already recommended Cafe 100 to a few friends :)

As a born-and-raised local, rice, gravy, and eggs will win me over every time, and I really wanted to love this place for the history alone. I'll be honest though -- the hype set the bar high, and I left a little let down. The regular loco moco was just okay. The hamburger patty tasted pre-made or frozen, though the gravy was solid (thank goodness). The beef stew also tasted pre-made and was lighter on the tomato flavor than I prefer. I ordered the steak as well (around $30), and it came out very well done. On the positive side, they offer a ton of plate lunch options, the space is extremely well kept for a local diner, and there's plenty of parking. It's covered outdoor seating only, but it's comfortable and clean. What surprised me most was the lack of visible history. I expected to see more storytelling about the loco moco origins -- photos, signage, staff sharing pride in it -- something that really leaned into that legacy. It felt a little missing. Still glad I tried it for the experience, but for me, it didn't quite live up to the legendary reputation.
